Travelling with Baby: Korea Day 10 Jeju Island [[ Sunrise Peak (Seongsan Ilchubong) + Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) ]]

Our tenth day in Jeju Island saw us visiting Sunrise Peak (Seongsan IIchubong) and the Manjanggul Lava Tube as the weather turn for the better.

Sunrise Peak
284-12, IIchul-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
GPS: 783-0959
Admission Fee: 2000won/adult, 1000won/child

It was my second time climbing the 180m high Sunrise Peak (Seongsan IIchubong). It turned out to be as tedious as I remembered it to be when I climbed it some 18 years ago! Kudos to Papa Kwek for baby wearing the missy up the peak!

Very fortunately, it was a pretty clear day and we were able to see the view of Jeju Island from the peak!

Admission Fee: 2000won/adult, 1000won/child

After visiting the Sunrise Peak, we headed to Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) which is a 30 minutes drive from Sunrise Peak.

Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) Tube is one of the largest Lava Tube in the world. Though it is 13km long, only 1km of it is open to public to walk and view. The distance sounds short but in fact, felt really long with it uneven slippery pavement; made even more difficult baby wearing a baby!

We only managed the first half of it and saw the famous turtule rock and some lava flow lines formed many years ago (straightlines seen on the lava tube walls), before deciding to make a U-turn back to the entrance to exit. Yes, there's only one entrance to Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) which serves as both the entrance and exit.

In order to enter and exit the , you will have to climb up several flights of stairs. Hence, not recommended for those facing physical challenges. If you are bringing a baby/toddler with you, do leave your stroller behind and baby wear instead.

Also, do note, it can get very cold in Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) . Remember to bring along a outerwear when visiting!
After such a physical day, we decided to head back to our neighbourhood for early dinner. The lazy us ended up back at Suda Brunch Cafe for some delish food before retiring for the day.
The Sunrise Peak (Seongsan Ilchubong) and Manjanggul Lava Tube (만장굴) are both not to be missed. Do include them in your itinerary when you come by Jeju Island!
